I think it's about one of the safest procedures there is, and millions of dogs have been returned to their owners because of it. The best time is during spaying a neutering when they are out anyway. It's probably more important if you live in a big city rather than a small town, but if you plan to travel with your dog, it will give you a little extra piece of mind. If you decide to do it, don't put the chip number on a tag she is wearing, if she's stolen, you don't want the thieves to even know that she has a chip. Many dogs are returned because someone takes them to the vet, and he discovers the chip. |
